Congratulations to Coach Giroux and our swim team for an outstanding regular season! Good luck at the KVAC Championship on Saturday!

In a special day for Waterville Girls Soccer, Maine legislators rose to recognize this singular accomplishment at the State House. Applause, pronouncements, and a declaration honored the team's fabulous season and remarkable character were raised from the floor to the team in the gallery above. Follow this link for the WABI-TV coverage:

As expressed by WSHS library technician Robin Duplessis, "This group of young women are not just winners on the field, they are winners in life. The integrity and dignity with which they conducted themselves demonstrate this is not just by the measure of this award. The manner in which they conduct themselves on a daily basis, even when no one is there to witness them, is the true measure of integrity. Each one of the young ladies in this group has integrity and a winning attitude." Congratulations Coach Sergenian and all the members of the soccer team.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Dec. 2018) – United Soccer Coaches announced on Wednesday the Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award recipients for high school and college soccer programs competing in the fall season. Today’s awards recognize a total of 167 teams across the country for exhibiting fair play, sporting behavior and adherence to the laws of the game.

The Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award is given to United Soccer Coaches members at four levels. Teams honored at the platinum level went an entire season without a player or coach receiving a yellow card or red card. Teams honored at the gold (1-10%), silver (11-30%) and bronze (31-50%) levels are based on a percentage calculated by the total number of cards received by players/coaches divided by the team’s total number of games played.

The seven college teams in the platinum category will be formally acknowledged at the College Coaches Awards Reception on Jan. 10 at the Chicago Marriott Marquis Great Lakes Ballroom in conjunction with the 2019 United Soccer Coaches Convention. The 12 high school teams receiving platinum distinction will be honored at the High School Coaches Breakfast on Jan. 12 in the same location.

United Soccer Coaches will announce additional high school Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award winners for the 2018-19 school year at the conclusion of the winter and spring seasons.

Founded in 1941 and based in Kansas City, Mo., United Soccer Coaches has grown into the world’s largest soccer coaches’ organization that serves members at every level of the game.

United Soccer Coaches works every day to inspire coaches and ignite their passion for the game so they pass it on to players and others in the soccer community.

Congratulations to the Waterville Senior High School Girls Soccer team for being selected as one of twelve schools nationally to receive the United Soccer Coaches Platinum Award for Ethics and Sportsmanship for the Fall 2018 season. WSHS was the only Maine school on the list! Go Panthers!

At 3:00 last Friday afternoon, the boys’ soccer team faced the Brewer Witches in the Preliminary Playoff round of the Class B North conference. The team fought hard but eventually fell short, losing 1-3. Although Waterville outshot Brewer 29-9, it’s the shots that make the net that count. “We had plenty of opportunities, but we just couldn’t find the back of the net as they did,” says Josiah Bloom, who played 78 minutes on Friday. Bloom credits the Brewer goalie’s impressive performance for the loss, saying he read the shots extremely well. Even though Waterville didn’t come home victorious, the team still has a lot to be proud of. This game marks the end of an impressive season from a talented soccer team.

Cross Country Teams Building On Success.

Congratulations to Coach Stanton and the Waterville Senior High School cross country teams for their success at the regional meet. The girls team won the meet and the boys finished as the runners-up. Great job and good luck next week at the State Meet!---

Congratulations to Coach Stanton and the cross country team. Both the boys and girls won the KVAC Championship on Saturday! Although Coach was confident that the team could take home the championships, we have a hunch that no one expected the Panther teams to come out as victors. Coach Stanton believes it’s been at least 10 years since the girls team won a KVAC title and nearly 30 for the boys.

Athletic Director Bernier wants to thank the football boosters and football parents in the work they have done behind the scenes to help make this night football game a reality. In addition, she wants to extend her appreciation to the Homecoming Parade Committee. We hope to see significant community support at all homecoming events which include theFridaynight football game at7pm,9amgirls soccer game at Webber field,11amboys soccer game at Winslow, and1pmfield hockey game at the Waterville Senior High School.

Thanks!
